RefSeq: NM_178331.2 RefSeq Size: 402 bp RefSeq ORF: 342 bp Locus ID: 2797 UniProt ID: O43555 Protein Families: Druggable Genome, Secreted Protein Protein Pathways: GnRH signaling pathway MW: 9.8 kDa Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) gene family. Proteins encoded by members of this gene family are proteolytically cleaved to form neuropeptides which, in part, regulate reproductive functions by stimulating the production and release of the gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The human GNRH2 gene is predicted to encode a preproprotein from which a mature neuropeptide of 10 amino acids is cleaved. However, while the human genome retains the sequence for a functional GNRH2 decapeptide, translation of the human GNRH2 gene has not yet been demonstrated and the GNRH2 gene of chimpanzees, gorilla, and Sumatran orangutan have a premature stop at codon eight of the decapeptide sequence which suggests GNRH2 was a pseudogene in the hominid lineage. The GNRH2 gene is also believed to be a pseudogene in many other mammalian species such as mouse and cow. The receptor for this gene (GNRHR2) is predicted to be a pseudogene in human as well as many other mammalian species. The closely related GNRH1 and GNRHR1 genes are functional in human and other mammals and are generally functional in vertebrates.

    Xie et al. BMC Biology 2010, 8:28 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/8/28 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The zebra finch neuropeptidome: prediction, detection and expression Fang Xie1, Sarah E London2,6, Bruce R Southey1,3, Suresh P Annangudi1,6, Andinet Amare1, Sandra L Rodriguez-Zas2,3,5, David F Clayton2,4,5,6, Jonathan V Sweedler1,2,5,6* Abstract Background: Among songbirds, the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) is an excellent model system for investigating the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviours such as vocal communication, learning and social interactions. Neuropeptides and peptide hormones are cell-to-cell signalling molecules known to mediate similar behaviours in other animals. However, in the zebra finch, this information is limited. With the newly-released zebra finch genome as a foundation, we combined bioinformatics, mass-spectrometry (MS)-enabled peptidomics and molecular techniques to identify the complete suite of neuropeptide prohormones and final peptide products and their distributions. Results: Complementary bioinformatic resources were integrated to survey the zebra finch genome, identifying 70 putative prohormones. Ninety peptides derived from 24 predicted prohormones were characterized using several MS platforms; tandem MS confirmed a majority of the sequences. Most of the peptides described here were not known in the zebra finch or other avian species, although homologous prohormones exist in the chicken genome. Among the zebra finch peptides discovered were several unique vasoactive intestinal and adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide 1 peptides created by cleavage at sites previously unreported in mammalian prohormones. MS-based profiling of brain areas required for singing detected 13 peptides within one brain nucleus, HVC; in situ hybridization detected 13 of the 15 prohormone genes examined within at least one major song control nucleus.

  • Kisspeptin and Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Signaling in Skeletal Muscle
    KISSPEPTIN AND GONADOTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE SIGNALING IN SKELETAL MUSCLE A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Lauren Mary Varvatos August 2019 © 2019 Lauren Mary Varvatos ABSTRACT Chronic inflammation contributes to skeletal muscle atrophy and impaired regenerative capacity. Previous research has identified skeletal muscle inflammatory susceptibility (MuIS), or the ability to manage and respond to inflammation, as a predictor of failed skeletal muscle regeneration and regrowth following surgery. This inflammatory susceptibility is associated with human aging and likely contributes to the adverse structural, metabolic, and functional tissue remodeling that occurs in aged adults. The etiology for heightened inflammation in skeletal muscle is unclear, particularly in healthy young adults. Research that elucidates the mechanisms by which inflammation impairs skeletal muscle regeneration is necessary for identifying potential therapeutic targets. Previous research from our laboratory identified kisspeptin-1 (KISS1) as a highly differentially expressed gene (DEgene) associated with lower inflammatory susceptibility (MuIS-) in human skeletal muscle. When the MuIS- group was compared to a group with an improved hypertrophic response to resistance training, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) signaling emerged as a top canonical pathway. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the potential relationship between KISS1/GnRH signaling and inflammation in skeletal muscle and elucidate the relevant signaling pathways. The presence of the GnRH receptor (GnRHr) was assessed in the skeletal muscle of mice genetically modified to constitutively express β-galactosidase at the GnRHr promoter (RG) and wild type (WT) mice using a β-galactosidase gene detection assay.

  • Addiction-Related Genes in Gambling Disorders: New Insights from Parallel Human and Pre-Clinical Models
    Molecular Psychiatry (2015) 20, 1002–1010 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1359-4184/15 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Addiction-related genes in gambling disorders: new insights from parallel human and pre-clinical models DSS Lobo1,2, L Aleksandrova2,3, J Knight1,2, DM Casey4, N el-Guebaly5, JN Nobrega2,6 and JL Kennedy1,2 Neurobiological research supports the characterization of disordered gambling (DG) as a behavioral addiction. Recently, an animal model of gambling behavior was developed (rat gambling task, rGT), expanding the available tools to investigate DG neurobiology. We investigated whether rGT performance and associated risk gene expression in the rat’s brain could provide cross-translational understanding of the neuromolecular mechanisms of addiction in DG. We genotyped tagSNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) in 38 addiction-related genes in 400 DG and 345 non-DG subjects. Genes with Po0.1 in the human association analyses were selected to be investigated in the animal arm to determine whether their mRNA expression in rats was associated with the rat’s performance on the rGT. In humans, DG was significantly associated with tagSNPs in DRD3 (rs167771) and CAMK2D (rs3815072). Our results suggest that age and gender might moderate the association between CAMK2D and DG. Moderation effects could not be investigated due to sample power. In the animal arm, only the association between rGT performance and Drd3 expression remained significant after Bonferroni correction for 59 brain regions. As male rats were used, gender effects could not be investigated. Our results corroborate previous findings reporting the involvement of DRD3 receptor in addictions.

  • Gnrh2 Maintains Reproduction in Fasting Zebrafish Through Dynamic Neuronal Projection Changes and Regulation of Gonadotropin
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Gnrh2 maintains reproduction in fasting zebrafsh through dynamic neuronal projection changes and regulation of gonadotropin synthesis, oogenesis, and reproductive behaviors Miranda Marvel1, Berta Levavi‑Sivan2, Ten‑Tsao Wong1, Nilli Zmora1 & Yonathan Zohar1* Restricted food intake, either from lack of food sources or endogenous fasting, during reproductive periods is a widespread phenomenon across the animal kingdom. Considering previous studies show the canonical upstream regulator of reproduction in vertebrates, the hypothalamic Gonadotropin‑ releasing hormone (Gnrh), is inhibited in some fasting animals, we sought to understand the neuroendocrine control of reproduction in fasted states. Here, we explore the roles of the midbrain neuropeptide, Gnrh2, in inducing reproduction via its pituitary prevalence, gonadotropin synthesis, gametogenesis, and reproductive outputs in the zebrafsh model undergoing diferent feeding regimes. We discovered a fasting‑induced four‑fold increase in length and abundance of Gnrh2 neuronal projections to the pituitary and in close proximity to gonadotropes, whereas the hypothalamic Gnrh3 neurons are reduced by six‑fold in length. Subsequently, we analyzed the functional roles of Gnrh2 by comparing reproductive parameters of a Gnrh2‑depleted model, gnrh2−/−, to wild‑type zebrafsh undergoing diferent feeding conditions. We found that Gnrh2 depletion in fasted states compromises spawning success, with associated decreases in gonadotropin production, oogenesis, fecundity,

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone During early mammalian embryogenesis, GnRH1 neurons emerge in the nasal/olfactory placode. These neurons Fibroblast growth factor undertake a long-distance migration, moving from the nose to the preoptic area and hypothalamus. While Insulin-like growth factor significant advances have been made in understanding the functional importance of the GnRH1 neurons in Kisspeptin reproduction, where GnRH1 neurons come from and how are they specified during early development is still Embryogenesis under debate. In addition to the GnRH1 gene, most vertebrate species including humans have one or two ad- Zebrafish Medaka ditional GnRH genes. Compared to the GnRH1 neurons, much less is known about the development and reg- ulation of GnRH2 neuron and GnRH3 neurons. The objective of this article is to review what is currently known about GnRH neuron development. We will survey various cell autonomous and non-autonomous factors im- plicated in the regulation of GnRH neuron development. Finally, we will discuss emerging tools and new ap- proaches to resolve open questions pertaining to GnRH neuron development. 1.
